I was gonna leave this morning
Just a little after 9
Things didn't go according to the plan
That I layed out in my mind
I let go of some things
That I held dear to me
So I could turned them into gasoline
And I walked them down my street
So I slept in my car in a parking lot not far
From the place that I called home
And I woke up with the dawn and I turned the engine on
And I kept driving along
Mum and Dad moved back to England
I guess Virginia did them wrong
There ain't nothing me or my sisters can say to them
That's gonna help them get along
So now that house is empty
Filled with people I don't know
So I drove right past the exit I used to take
That used to lead me home
So I slept in my car in a parking lot not far
From the place that I called home
And I woke up with the dawn and I turned the engine on
And I kept driving along
So I'll find the place where the local drunks go
And I'll sit at the bar on my own
I'll drink whatever they pour for me so I can get some sleep
And I'll find the place where the local drunks go

And I woke up with the dawn and I turned the engine on
And I kept driving along
Oh, I kept driving on
Down the 81 South
